"""Goonan weaves experimental jazz, particle physics, and biochemistry into a compelling adventure through alternate universes."" --Entertainment Weekly ""In War Times is a novel of great historical reach...and profound ambition, expressed with an unmistakable ease of execution and a master's sureness of touch. Kathleen Ann Goonan has come through to the kind of control that makes every startling fresh development--and this novel bristles with astonishing moments of development--seem inevitable."" --Peter Straub, bestselling and award-winning author of Talisman and Ghost Story ""Sometimes a book makes me stop and think after I've finished it. Occasionally a book will make me stop and think during it. Rarely will a book do both. In War Times is one of those rare books whose ideas live in your mind long after you've finished and make you think about them for a time afterward."" --SF Signal ""Paralleling the evolution of modern jazz with the creative ferment of science, Goonan delivers a bravura performance."" --Publishers Weekly"
